Award-winning healthcare solutions provider, Teal, has unveiled a new ‘innovative multi-use chair’ created by international designer, Ben Grafton, which it will show at the DIMH 2015 exhibition.
‘Roku’ is a durable, rotationally moulded chair and matching table collection with contemporary styling, available in a vibrant colour palette. Moulded polyethylene provides excellent impact strength and durability.
‘Roku’, Japanese for ‘six’, refers to the chair’s feature set, from the six-sided hexagonal shape, to the six applicable environments – bedroom, lounge, reception, dining, outdoor, or high security. Roku can be configured to be lightweight, or weighted to limit misuse.
Roku adds to London-based designer Ben Grafton’s extensive list of ‘groundbreaking’, award-winning seating designs. He said: “The challenge was to create a stylish, durable seating range, with a pleasing aesthetic, which protects both patients and carers. The six-sided flowing design makes it difficult to pick up. There are no protruding corners or areas for concealment, while the chair incorporates anti-ligature features, and weighting options are available.”
